Thieves Steal Truck, Air Force Newlyweds’ Marriage License

LINCOLN (CBS13) — A marriage license is gone and a truck is nowhere to be found just a day after the Air Force couple said: “I do.”

“Nervous. I was real nervous,” said Bryce Burkhardt leading up to the big day.

But after three years, the happy couple confirmed their love for one another at the courthouse and the two became one.

“I’m beyond excited to be married to him, and now I will be able to be with him,” said Tristian Burkhardt who is based in Kansas.

While the marriage went off without a hitch, the honeymoon left them stranded.

“She showed me where she parked it, and it was gone,” Bryce said, referring to his stolen vehicle.

A thief took off with their 2009 Chevy Colorado that was parked at the Holiday Inn Express in Lincoln. And the proof of their holy matrimony was in it.

“You only get married once, and you’re only ever going to get one official copy of the marriage license. The other ones are just certified copies. They’re not the real deal, they’re not raised pretty ones,” Tristian said.
